The Crown Princess is busy fishing

As they approached the construction site, the sun was about to set, but the workers still hadn't stopped.

He hurriedly called out to Lin Qingzhou and Qiu Ming, "Big brother, Uncle Qiu, it's getting dark soon."

"The food is ready. Everyone has been busy all day and should take a break."

Lin Qingzhou immediately stopped what she was doing and said to everyone, "Let's stop here for today!"

Qiu Ming wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked up at the sky.

He replied, "It's time to wrap up. Everyone worked very hard today, and the progress on the house is quite good."

Upon hearing the call, everyone stopped what they were doing and breathed a sigh of relief.

Everyone joked with each other about their day's work.

Some people complained of backaches and pains, while others boasted that they had done the most work that day.

Lin Qingzhou and Lin Yuge led everyone to the water vat in the courtyard.

Everyone washed their hands and faces, washing away the day's dust and fatigue.

Then, while talking, he walked towards the house.

As soon as you enter the house, the aroma of food wafts over you.

"Mom, what's for dinner today? It smells so good!" Lin Qingzhou asked, sniffing exaggeratedly.

Xie Jingwan gestured for everyone to sit down, telling them not to be shy.

He turned around and replied, "The eel rice was made by your sister; your mother doesn't know how to make this."

"But the soup was made according to the method your Aunt Jinhua taught me. Everyone, please have a taste!"

Everyone eagerly picked up their chopsticks and first tried the eel rice.

The eel was grilled to perfection, with a crispy exterior and tender interior.

The sauce has a rich and mellow flavor, which, combined with the aroma of rice, makes every bite a delight.

"Yuge, your eel is even better than the eel cooked in the restaurants in town!" Old Ge praised, giving a thumbs up.

Lin Yuge waved his hand dismissively, saying, "Uncle Ge, you flatter me. I was just figuring it out on my own."

But everyone else thought so. Boss Ge said with a smile, "You put a lot of effort into this dish."

"When you have time, I'll have your aunt come over and learn from you. The kids in your family should really like this dish."

Everyone nodded after hearing this.

Li Er and Zhang Meng, along with a few other young men, ate without even looking up.

After finishing the meal, he kept saying that the meals he had eaten in the past few days were better than the meals he had eaten in a whole year.

Qiu Dalang glanced at Lin Qingzhou with a hint of envy.

"Qingzhou, you are so lucky. I even want to be your mother's son."

Lin Qingzhou glanced at him sideways, but before she could say anything, she gave him a sideways look.

Qiu Ming slapped him on the head.

He laughed and scolded, "You brat, what's wrong? Are you starving at home? Look at you, so useless!"

After he finished speaking, seeing that everyone had finished eating, he quickly told everyone to leave.

After everyone had gone far away.

Lin Yuge called him "Big Brother" and the two of them carried the remaining fish catch from the boat home together.

I plan to send it to Tingtao Tower again tomorrow morning.

The next morning, Lin Yuge went to Dawankou and transported the fish to Tingtaolou.

Lu Ziheng happened to be in the store. When he saw her, he immediately walked over.

"Little Sister Lin, you've finally arrived! Did you bring any good stuff this time?"

Lin Yuge pointed to the wooden buckets and fish baskets being unloaded from the cart.

He said with a smile, "Brother Lu, take a look for yourself, it's all here."

Lu Ziheng looked at them one by one, starting with two baskets of sea bass and pomfret.

Then came a bucket of spotted grouper, and his eyes lit up.

He'd been here for a while, so he knew which fish were good to eat.

Next came shrimp, squid, sea urchins, and several buckets of conch and scallops.

Finally, there was the big crab.

Lin Yuge left all the miscellaneous fish at home, since he needed quite a few fish for cooking these past two days.

Lu Ziheng was increasingly satisfied with what he saw, his face full of smiles.

"Little Sister Lin, you've really given me a lot of surprises this time."

"These grouper and sea urchins are extremely fresh ingredients. Our chefs at Tingtaolou will definitely be able to make dishes that will leave diners praising."

"And this crab, that's a treasure."

Lin Yuge smiled somewhat embarrassedly.

"Brother Lu, these are all my catches from yesterday's sea voyage."

"We were lucky to find a good spot, so we caught a lot."

At this moment, Chef Liu from Tingtaolou also rushed over upon hearing the commotion.

Seeing such a wide variety of ingredients made my eyes light up.

"So many good things! This grouper can be used to make steamed grouper, and the sea urchin can be used to make steamed sea urchin with eggs."

"These fresh prawns are perfect for a braised prawn dish. This crab deserves a special dish..."

Chef Liu looked at the menu and muttered to himself as he planned it out.

Lin Yuge laughed along with him as she listened to his words.

"Chef Liu, you really have great ideas. These dishes sound very tempting."

Chef Liu then realized what was happening and said with a smile, "Miss Lin, it's all thanks to your excellent catch! It's so fresh and plump. We chefs are always worried about not having good ingredients."

Lu Ziheng instructed him, "Move all these ingredients to the kitchen first. We need to process them as soon as possible, so as not to let Lin Xiaomei's hard work go to waste."

Chef Liu quickly called his staff over to move the things.

He muttered to himself, "We have to be careful with such good ingredients."

Lu Ziheng turned to Lin Yuge and said, "Little Sister Lin, your fish this time is so plentiful and fresh, I'll have to give you a raise."

"You've been a great help to Tingtaolou. Lately, customers have been complaining that the menu isn't very interesting. With you here, we're able to introduce quite a few new dishes."

Lin Yuge quickly waved his hand.

"Brother Lu, no need, just stick to the price we agreed on before."

"We've been working together for so long, we can't break the rules over something like this."

Lu Ziheng insisted, "Little Sister Lin, you're just too honest. But don't worry, this is what you deserve, I know what I'm doing."

Lin Yuge couldn't refuse Lu Ziheng, so she had no choice but to agree.

She took the money bag that Lu Ziheng handed her.

He said gratefully, "Brother Lu, thank you. I'll head back now; I have some things to take care of at home."

Lu Ziheng nodded. "Then you must be careful when you're at sea."

"By the way, how's the construction of your house going?"

Lin Yuge's eyes lit up. "The construction is going very smoothly, thanks to the help of the villagers. It should be completed soon."

Lu Ziheng smiled and said, "That's wonderful. We must have a big celebration after the house is built."

Lin Yuge replied with a smile, "Of course, I will definitely invite Brother Lu to my home as a guest then."

After saying goodbye to Lu Ziheng, Lin Yuge bought some necessities for her home and then sailed away from Da Wankou.

Not long after the ship set sail, it passed a large merchant ship loaded with cargo.

Suddenly, I heard a "plop" sound.

Lin Yuge looked in the direction of the sound and saw a small child struggling desperately on the sea.

Its small body rose and fell with the waves, and it looked like it was about to be submerged.

Without hesitation, she plunged into the sea and swam quickly toward the child.

Lin Yuge was like a nimble fish, weaving through the waves.

The seawater kept crashing against her, but her gaze remained fixed on the little boy.

Seeing that the child was about to be swept away by a huge wave, Lin Yuge gritted her teeth and tried her best to speed up.

Just as the child was about to be submerged by the waves, she reached out and grabbed the child's clothes tightly.

Then she pulled the child into her arms.
